we do all what we can and a little bit more to get the "happy end".
I would translate it just taking care on the "meanings" not the words because what is important in this context (if I understood it correctly) is: they have a goal and will do all to get it.
It's another idea. ;)

: Yo creo que ponerle todos los sentidos o los cinco sentidos a algo significa "to give sth one´s full attention" Si se refiere a prestar atención a algo para que salga bien.

we use all five senses, plus the sixth one
It makes perfect sense to me to use almost a literal translation here, not that the suggestions so far are bad of course, just another idea

Another way to go would be:
we have included everything
we have left no stones unturned
we have ensured that everything which might be needed is present
we have considered everything (for a full experience)
We have (addressed/engaged) all of the senses (and then some) in order to ensure a happy ending
